Unfortunately, we missed the deadline that team set for submissions. We may be able to
request an extension, and those affiliates who already completed these are on this page
I am not sure if anybody here was part of any of those global conversations?

Hi Jeffrey,
This is good to bring up. I'd not been following it. If you're able to make it to
the open meeting on the 7th of Dec, would you be able to lead a short discussion &
information about it?

Where is the best on-wiki location to state our areas of need and interest?
All the bets,

Have there been any discussions within the WikiJournal UG about the Movement Strategy
funding opportunities? Mehrdad posted this on our Discussion page

though I have am not sure there has been discussion about it, as nobody replied there (nor
through this list, I believe). This is separate from the SAPG or Rapid Grant discussions.
One of my user groups met this past week and had a discussion about what we need, and
Mehrdad in the Strategy Team was able to join us. One thing became very clear — there is a
short timeframe remaining for affiliates to identify areas of need and interest
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit…
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transition/List_of_Initiatives>
and submit requests for funding next year. There are various regional efforts in process
to help move this along, but we are thematic and non-regional, so may otherwise fall
through the cracks so to speak if we do not somehow identify 2 or 3 needs we have, aligned
with the Movement Strategy, that could benefit from funding over the next 12-18 months.
It seems if affiliates do not use this time to actively identify needs and request funds,
we will miss out on them through this process.
Thoughts?
